File sizes
« on: May 24, 2010, 12:55:12 PM »
A Brief History of Rome v1.1.9 - 2.2MB

Pirates and Traders v1.1.4 - 2,9MB


Android 2.1 and less do not support app2sd, so each MB counts. My new HTC Desire is already full. Can you do something about the filesize? Store some resources on the SD card?

I already try to minimize the size of the graphics to the extent possible; not sure that it is practically possible to reduce it much further with the current implementation.

Unfortunately, the Android framework does not allow for a simple way to split up resource storage (one of the reasons why there are so few really large Android apps yet). I suspect (or at least hope) that HTC will be releasing the 2.2 upgrade for Sense on most phones before I would get around to completing such an implementation.
